-

All reaction less than 2+ by Tango or by tube should be further evaluated for Mix field-two populations due to Rh mismatch transfusion or feto maternal hemorrhage especially when testing the patients. Ignoring this point may lead to wrong interpretation. By Gel Mix Field and weak reactions are clearly differentiated and Mix field in the Gel should be further evaluated. Patient history is important to decide.

What is the expiry of a red cell unit if it is exposed to higher temp (more than 10 C) for more than half hour? 24 hours??
-
AABB Technical Manual page 622 17th Edition If a unit has been entered (spiked for transfusion), it may not be returned to the transfusion service for reissue. It must either be infused within 4 hours of the time it was spiked, or it must be discarded.

Yes, It is a quarry from a head nurse that some time the transfusion could not be completed with in four hour. She want to know in this case what she will do to remaining blood.

What if transfusion of a PRBC unit exceed's 4 hours? What is recommended ?
-
Malcolm! If u will put 2F, the converter will give u the equal temp of C, that is -16.6C. To get equal amount of C to 2 degree F, U have divide 2/1.8=1.1 and round up to 1. So we use 1 c rise of temp than 37 C as a marker in transfusion reaction.

Thanks Liz and David Correct Liz and David, as u calculate the collection day is Day zero one day will be complete next day, so we start count from 17 and 42 days falls on 2/27. We had a visitor last week and he objected our count. He started count from 16 Jan (Collection Date) and told platelet (5 days) shall expire on 20 Jan, whereas I said 21 Jan. I did not find it in the books. Do u have a reference?

Is it acceptable to use ordinary bench top centrifuge for blood Grouping by tube method at speed 1800-2000 rpm for 1 minute? May we calibrate the speed like serological centrifuge (Serofuge)? Minimum time in these machines is 1 minute.

Thanks doctor, Just this week I received shipment of 17th edition. I shall check it.

Thanks Dr. I have wrote our proficiency testing policy and I need knowledge and reference to code in the policy, Our policy format has a mandatory column for reference. We take part in DiaMed (BioRad) Basic and advance surveys those cover transfusion lab completely. For donors Hb and TTD screening tests we perform split sample with our lab's Hematology and Virology departments. I need a reference for this and make it sure what we do is correct.

---ditt0--- Perform the test as advised by Malcolm, reverse and forward pre-warm, using Negative and postie control, Mostly d may appear negative by pre-warm.
